IBM IIB/ACE monitoring

This issue is a proposal for the addition of a new component of java-contrib dedicated to the monitoring of IBM IIB/ACE solutions.

IBM Integration Bus (IIB)/Application Connect Enterprise (ACE) is an integration platform to connect applications and data across environments.

We aim to work on offering support to monitor this solution.

Specifically, we want to support monitoring critical use cases:

• Report if a broker is not started, blocking the application from sending or receiving data
• Report inactive message flows in a broker by measuring the number of message flows that are in stopped status
• Report the status of the integration server
• Report the max elapsed time spent processing an input message.

One possible approach is to monitor ACE by using the REST API.
An example of REST API is https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/11.0.0?topic=api-displaying-integration-servers

Please help us refine this proposal, comment and signal support if you are interested in this monitoring.

The issue does not name a repository file, test, or entry point. Begin by reviewing existing monitoring components in java-contrib and the linked IBM ACE REST API documentation. Done would require defined support for broker availability, stopped message flows, integration-server status, and maximum input-message processing time.
